You're doing nothing wrong.

The kernel didn't recognise the IDs for that card.  Can you pull the
card and take a look at it?  Does it have a part labelled 83932 or
8390 or 83902?  Does it have a 68000 on it?
If it's got the 8390 or 83902 on it, you're in luck.  I think that all
of the LC cards use the 83932 (SONIC), in which case, you'll have to
wait for a SONIC driver (or work on one ;-).  This shouldn't be too far
away--there's a working if_sn.c for the OpenBSD/arc port, and I've got
it partly hacked for the Mac.
